SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,853, dated December 30, 1890. Application filed November 20, 1889. Serial No. 331,036. (No model.)

To all whom, t may concern:

Beit known that I, MARGARET HoYEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rixford, McKean county, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in that class of apparatus known as Baby-WVallters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact 'description of the construction and operation of the saine.

The invention consists of constructions and combinations, all as will be hereinafter described in the specification, and pointed out in theclaim, reference being had to the ac. companying drawing,in which the figure represents a perspective view of the improved apparatus. l

A represents a table, preferably circular in form and having a central opening a in its top large enough to receive the body of a child and constitutes what may be called the body of the apparatus.

B is a plate screwed to the table and adapted to be moved back and forth over the opening aA to increase the size thereof to fit t-he bodies of different sized children. It consists of a semicircular plate b, having an inner concave edge b4 and arms b', which rest in the slides a', countersunk in the top of table A, the arms b being bent or offset to permit of their entering the countersink and allow the body thereof to rest upon the top of the table. The plate maybe held in place by any desired means, that shown being a bolt or pin b2 passing through it and the table being preferred. It may be provided with a handle b3, by which the plate can be adjusted or the Whole apparatus moved.

D is an extension of table A, and may be hinged thereto and supported therefrom in any known manner. The body of the table is supported on legs E, preferably hinged to the under side of the top in suchamanner as to permit of their being folded thereunder, the pairs of legs being held in their supporting position by a trace-rod e', pivotally con nected tol one set ot' legs and bolted to the opposite pair in the manner shown in the drawing. The legs are provided with casters e2, so that the devicecan be easily moved. F is a handle by which the device can be moved When desired.

I claim The combination ofthe table having the central opening and countersinks and the superimposed curved adjustable plate having arms bent to conform to the top of the table and the countersinks.

MARGARET I-IOYER.
